Mackenzie Mathis (EPFL neuroscientist, DeepLabCut & CEBRA co-creator and open science pioneer) is keynoting at Compute! Paris 2026! Her tools (used by 1000s of labs) decode behavior & neural activity. She explores adaptive intelligence, how brains and machines learn in a changing world.

LeJEPA: a novel pretraining paradigm free of the (many) heuristics we relied on (stop-grad, teacher, ...) - 60+ arch., up to 2B params - 10+ datasets - in-domain training (>DINOv3) - corr(train loss, test perf)=95%

The Python Software Foundation was recommended for a $1.5M grant from the National Science Foundation. The terms of the award said PSF could not work on DEI, whether or not the grant funding was used for it. PSF therefore declined the funding. Science suffers, but commitment to core values remains

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

I got 3rd out of 691 in a tabular kaggle competition – with only neural networks! 🥉 My solution is short (48 LOC) and relatively general-purpose – I used skrub to preprocess string and date columns, and pytabkit to create an ensemble of RealMLP and TabM models. Link below👇

Then why does flow matching generalize?? Because it fails! The inductive bias of the neural network prevents from perfectly learning u* and overfitting. In particular neural networks fail to learn the velocity field for two particular time values. See the paper for a finer analysis 😀
